I've been a bit spoiled this week with two trips out replete with blue, sunny skies, the blue damselflies were certainly taking advantage of the weather, with mating pairs all around the water edges. It was a bit quiet on the songbird front though, I hardly heard any let alone saw any, birds spotted were, Blue Tit, Swift, Blackbird, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Great Crested Grebe, Moorhen, Coot, Tufted Duck, Mallard, Canada Goose, as well as the following chicks, Coot (6) and Moorhen (1) and three nesting Coots. With the lack of bird activity, it was just as well there was plenty of wildflowers, insects, Funghi and Slime Mould to observe, including a great specimen of Yellow Slime Mould, 'Fuliga Septica' also known as 'Dog Vomit' for the obvious reason, the pictures don't do it justice though, it was a very vibrant bright yellow.
